CBD Rene
Welcome to my strain review. This strain is from The Green Rhino located in Vancouver, BC.
This strain is priced at $10 per gram but at the time of buying it was on sale for $8 per gram. Also i had a 20% discount at the time so i ended up paying $6.40 per gram plus taxes.
CBD Rene won the award for highest level of CBD at 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup competition in Amsterdam and 1st place for Highest CBD Flower at the 2015 Harvest Moon Cup in Vancouver. It was bred by the House of the Great Gardener.
This strain comes in at 6.17% THC and 6.38% CBD. That gives it a low THC value in today standards and a mid range CBD.
Since CBD's medical benefits have been only hyped up for the past few years it has not been a trait that has been bred for much until lately. This is why you don't usually see higher CBD levels if any CBD at all in some strains.
The smell is a sweet floral berry and just a bit of earthiness.
The taste in my vaporizer is a sweet berry floral with small amount of pungency. A new top stain of mine i think.
The appearance is a bit of a darker green with very few small amber/brown pistols. Lots of nice what appear to be mostly clear trichomes covering all the vegetation. The buds could be trimmed a bit better but the sugar leaves that are left are nicely frosted.
The effects are energetic euphoric and alert. For being fairly balanced in the THC and CBD i do feel a bit high which they say the CBD is supposed to counteract the psychoactive effects of THC, i do not agree with that in this case though. Being late in the day though i noticed the energetic part declined about an hour after vaporizing.
Some info i found on the strain:
- Hybrid Indica Strain (60% Indica x 40% Sativa)
- CBD Rene = Cannatonic x (Skunk #1 x Himalayan Indica)
- Taste: Berry, Sweet, Floral
- Treats: Pain, Depression, Inflamation
